Wilhelm Rudeck ( 1873 - 1913 ) was a German author, who worked as a doctor in Leipzig. In addition to several books on the relationship between medicine and law, he published popular non-fiction books on German moral life, including a history of public morality in Germany . Since Struwwelpeter was not published in 1894 under the name of the author Heinrich Hoffmann , but under the pseudonyms "Reimerich Kinderlieb" and "Heinrich Kinderlieb", Rudeck considered the book to be in the public domain and published a cheap edition at the Pallas Verlag in Leipzig in 1912, against the Rütten & Loening defended itself legally in vain. Rudeck then looked for other works by well-known writers published under a pseudonym and in 1913 re-published Gustav Freytag's pictures from the German past , which, however, were a compilation of initially anonymous articles from Freytag's Die Grenzboten . Under his pseudonym Rudolf Will , he published the anthology Allerlei Humor , which contained, among other things, Wilhelm Busch's picture stories . Even after Rudeck's death in 1913, there were still lawsuits against his use of the writings of well-known authors.
